Leigh,
Not to inflame you or the group but the phenomenon that I was talking about
was repeated by this statement:

Not studies per-se, at least not whenever i ask about it. but in my humble
experience, if i consume alcohol most especially wine or beer, my insulin
needs 8-12 hrs later drop tremendously. I actually nearly died before i
figured that out with the help of my disetronic rep.
Leigh,
I am convinced w/my experience that there can be dangerous drop in bg that
can only be explained by too much alcohol consumption at one time.(Being
Drunk) Basal, bolus', and unused insulin, were not the catalyst in these bg
drops. Of course let me stress that this is my experience and at least one
others' , but ymmv.
I tried to prove this phenomonon with an equation before. I got no reponse to
that. I have no hard scientific evidence, from you nor anywhere, to prove to
me that this phenomenon does not happen. The case and the phenomenon only
happens with too much alcoholic consumption at once. Not responsible drinking.
This is an important question which need further tests can't we at least
agree on that.
